Report from an aid worker near the Darfur border

“This afternoon we had another UXO incident in Goz Beida-- a huge explosive bang.  I believe at this stage it was an anti-personnel mine that children had found in the mountains and brought back to play with in town.  Unfortunately one child was killed, and another has lost one (or possibly both) legs. They were aged about nine or ten. There is such a huge amount of unexploded ordnance that the humanitarian agency, MAG cannot keep up with the clearing- particularly after all the recent fighting. What I would like to know is who is supplying these weapons to Chad.?”

I too would like to know!
